TV and racing star Guy Martin will be seen racing former F1 world champion Jenson Button in his latest show on Monday night.

The 36-year-old heads to Silverstone with a rebuild of a famous 80s Formula One car to put his skills to the test in Speed With Guy Martin: Classic F1 Special on Channel 4 at 9pm.

Guy will take to the circuit after rebuilding the first F1 car ever driven by racing legend Ayrton Senna – the Williams FW08C.

Meanwhile, Jenson will be driving the FW08B – a six-wheeled Williams prototype that was banned by the sport’s governing body in 1983.

Guy said: “I feel that I’m in good company behind the wheel of the Williams FW08C.

“It was the first F1 car to be driven by the great Ayrton Senna and it won the 1983 Monaco Grand Prix.

“It’s been a real privilege to work with Williams on bringing this iconic piece of motoring history back to life.

“Jenson may be a world champion but with a stunning vehicle like this all bets are off.”

The documentary will see Guy embark on the huge challenge of rebuilding Keke Rosberg’s classic 1983 car.

Not only does he have to get to grips with the intricate engineering and specialised racing technology of a thoroughbred Formula One car; but he'll also have to learn how to drive one of the most challenging cars on earth.
